SEAFORTPI, OCTOBER 3, 1879.
Political Meeting.
We would again remind our readers
of the political address to beiv n by
Sir R._ J. g
Cartwright, M. P. for Centre
Huron., in Cardno's Hall, Seaforth, on
.'"uesday evening next. If the
weather
favorable we expect: that very many
t mill avail themselves of
this opportunity -
'tf again listening to Mr. Cartwright. :
notice that his address is already
receiving attention from the Nail an
and
other Ministerial journals. These jour-
nals have good cause to bear in mind
'the-menmber for Contre Huron. They
know his power, and it is not surprising
that this anticipated shaking up of the
dry bones should cause them to tremble
in advance.
The Date Zulu War.
It has already been I announced that
the Zulu king has fallen Tato British
hands,having been captured on the
28th of August by a detachment of
dragoons under command of Major
Marten. The capture of Cetewayo
ends the: war; for the Zulu monarch
was not only the chief warrior of
his
nation, but its master spirit in tactics
and policy. His star . has now, no
• doubt, set forever, and hisictur
p segue

form with its coat of leopard skin, h
crimson sash and eagle plumes, w j
brave tree field no more. Thus it
thata war that ought never to have bnc
gun ends with a tolerable assiira
that it will never be repeated.
The war, although it lasted only eight
-' mon nus, was an eventful one. It has
been short,, sharp, and decisive. The
terrible:lattle of Isandula was fought
on. the 21st of January, and resulted
most disastrously tas `
ousl
y to the English arms.
It required no great wisdom then to
predict as a result of the Zulu victory,
the ultimate overthrow of the, Zulu
,power. Precedent and experience fully
nstified such a prediction. p .tion. Bd ,. con-
sidering the larocligious disparity of the
belligerent f 'ces then confronting each
other, and e vast difficulties of the
trait ,r..l, sea -,c e -for an invader, - the
_-;•- aflapse has been wonderfully sud-
den. When to these considerations are
added the splendid fighting qualities of
the Zulus, the uncommon ability with
which:for the most part they were han-
dled, and the extensive areas covered in
the campaign, it is impossible to deny
that the English should be credited with
a brilliant achievement
Properly speaking, the English had
no ' business in` Zululand at all. But
()nee there, their attitude and de-
mands have: been just and humane.
They asked that the indiscriminate in-
fliction of the death penalty should be
modified among the `Zulus and that
3etewayo should introduce trial by jury..
„Sae at first refused, then consented, and
finally broke in act the compact he had
made in words. In July of last year a
body of his troops invaded Natal,
d some refugee women who had
from Zululand, took them back
um:e again and executed them. The
�glish authorities demanded the sur -
der of the leaders of this invading
a. The Zulu king refused, and
was the consequence. The battle
indula made Cetewayo and his
'rs believe themselves invincible.
compelled the English to make
ae war conclusive. A large part of
the British force was annihilated on
at fatal day, and the commander,
..cord Chelmsford, was obliged to flee
arecipitately acre as the Tuegla river.
The outs__ ast,, followed this discs

ad for the removssl of Lord Chelnas-
d- arose, and was`. hotly pressed by
Feral of the most it fluential of Lon -
an journals. The kQueen,: however,
stood the firm friend of that officer,
whose gratitude to his royal .protector
should be unbounded; ;for she not only
stood between him and disgrace, but

quantity of the several varieties, and
the quality fully corresponded with the
quantity. The Canada Company's
prize for the best fall wheat, has this
year gone to Tuckersmith, Mr. William
Bell, of the London Road, being the
fortunate winner. It was a most mag-
nificent sample of wheat. In fruit,
especially apples, there was a good
show, the display being well in accord
with the bountiful crop of this season.
Although the display in dairy products
was not so large as in some
former, years, the samples of butter
exhibition appeared to be of the choicest
quality. c

that the tub of salt butter which took the
first prize. was sold before

mentioned in this connection which,
many visitors seemed to lose -sight of.
That is, that the Agricultural Hall
here is nearly twice as large as it used
to be, and is more than twice the size
of any other Agricultural Hall in this
here than in most halls presents; a less
compact ,and crowded appearance.
This year, judged by other local shows,
there was a very large display. The
only departments that were at all lack-

products. The display of roots and
